The 2018 Ford Explorer is packed with smart technology and comfort features. The XLT Sport Appearance Package features updates inside and out, and provides a rugged look, including 20-inch Magnetic Gray wheels, grille, mirror caps and rear applique; Ebony Black body-side cladding and black roof rack; and Explorer hood badge.

Interior features include Dark Earth Gray leather front seats and Miko suede seatback uppers and inserts, with Umber scrim, contrast stitching and door trim inserts. Front seat outer bolsters by premium leather maker Salerno and Explorer logo floor mats are also included.

Explorer is available with SYNC 3 and other popular features such as a hands-free, foot-activated liftgate, heated steering wheel, inflatable first- and second-row safety belts and LED fog lamps.

Drivers can opt for a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that delivers 280 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 310 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. Explorer Sport and Platinum edition models pack a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 that generates 365 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 350 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,500 rpm.

Base model Explorer, XLT and Limited trim levels come standard with a 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 290 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 255 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. All engines are mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.

Updated style and greater choice for the 2018 Ford Explorer means five new wheel options, a Safe and Smart Package, and available SYNC Connect with 4G modem and Wi-Fi hotspot that connects up to 10 devices.

Among the standard features are automatic headlamps, auxiliary rear climate controls, hill start assist, and LED headlamps with halogen reflector high beams.
